Giveaway: Martha Stewart Tote

GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED. Thanks to all who entered. Winner will be announced on Wednesday on Facebook!

Happy Monday! I’m back from my quick trip to the Outer Banks (16 hours total driving, whew) and can’t wait to share about it– but first things first. Let’s start the week off right with a giveaway for a Martha Stewart Home Office with Avery Small Tote in Raspberry (retail value of $79)!

Don’t let the words ‘small tote’ fool you. This bag packs a big punch, with tons of room for all your needs. Case in point: the inner pocket holds a 10″ tablet, no sweat:

See that? It practically disappears, there’s so much room!

The side snaps mean you can tailor the bag to fit your needs. Carrying something large? Simply unsnap them, and you have a huge tote. Snap them up to make the bag smaller, or more of an everyday bag for work or running errands.

The fabric is water and stain repellent, too. Especially perfect if you have kids, pets or long commutes where it might get dirty.

The raspberry fabric especially caught my eye because spring is coming and I’m so craving pretty colors! Here’s a peppy outfit I put together to share some spring style. I have a few blogging conferences coming up and this bag will be absolutely perfect to hold all my supplies. Now, if I can just find a way to snag those True Religion Skinny Jeans I’d be all set. 😉

Wouldn’t you love to have one for yourself? They are available at Staples, or you can WIN ONE right here on Making Lemonade. Just enter below, it’s easy! Please note this giveaway is open to US residents only because I’m personally paying for shipping. Thanks for your understanding on that one!

I love this tote. If I had one, I would put my scrapping basics in it to take to the crops. A sharp and trusty pair of scissors, my yellow Xyron “x” and a refill, a small paper cutter, and that day’s card making bits and pieces. Viola! A card kit in a pretty purse.

I would put my various craft supplies that I need most for my craft get togethers & a journal to take lots of notes that I need to reference for future craft projects 🙂 Thanks for this! I love the color & I need a new tote! 🙂

I would use this colorful bag to replace my ho-hum work bag from several years ago! New year! Fresh start! Not only am I am stay at home mom, but I also work PT from home. Often I go out of the home to meet with my boss, so I need something that can help carry and organize all the non-baby-bag related office and work items!

I mean, what wouldn’t you put in it? I would make it my “business-planning” tote, and keep all the paperwork for my startup in there. Maybe the hot pink would entice me to pick it up and work on it all more often. 😉

I’m going to a basketball tournament in March and if I win this bag I will put my knitting project, sudoku puzzles, snacks and anything else I can think of to keep me entertained during the breaks at the tournament. Thanks for the giveaway, this bag looks great!

This bag would be PERFECT for me, as a college student! It could fit everything I need as I run around all day to class, the gym, and work. I wouldnt have to choose which binders I could possibly do without, because I would be able to fit all of my school work, plus my gym clothes! The inner pocket would be great for my planner (which I cannot live without) and the zipper pocket would help prevent me from losing all of my pens/pencils/highlighters. I can also see my phone/calculator/eyeglass case and other odds and ends organized all along the side wall. This bag would be the ulitmate tool of organization in my crazy college-nursing-student-athlete-tutor-craft-enthusiast life!

I really like the Martha Stewart line at Staples. I use the flat boxes and folders everyday for blog work!
The new bags are so nice-I did see them in the store, but not the pink one. so pretty!
great find!

Ummm … everything?! It looks like a great bag for my commute — it looks like it’ll fit my wristlet, lunch, and some reading material for the train. If it fits my laptop, that’s a big bonus and I can take it to meetings!
